Hi, friends, neighbors, and community members,

We’re rallying around April Colburn—a devoted mother, a hardworking professional, and the talented graphic designer behind The Chautauqua Gazette’s beautiful advertisements—as she and her four children face the devastating loss of her husband, Mark, after his recent hospitalization.

April is the kind of person who gives her all, no matter what. By day, she works tirelessly at Register Graphics, and by night, she lends her creativity to local businesses through her ad designs, helping them thrive while supporting her own family. Despite her packed schedule, she’s always brought passion and precision to everything she does.

Now, as April and her children grieve, we want to ease the burden of medical expenses, funeral costs, and the challenges of rebuilding their lives without Mark. As a community that has benefited from April’s dedication, let’s surround her with love and practical support in return.

How You Can Help:

Donate—Every contribution, big or small, will help April and her kids navigate this difficult time.

Share—Spread the word so others who know and appreciate April can contribute.

Leave a Note—Share a message of support to remind her how much she’s loved.

April has spent years lifting up local businesses and this community. Now, let’s lift her up.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. <3
